aRANULATKD LIDS.
G~rauulation Of the lids areof two KINDS:
acute and chronic.
Acute granular opthalmic, II severe
presents marked symptoms Of nhar-ns
ton ; the eye ID red, becomes muc swo..
len and puffy; sometimes the copJunct.oa
of the ball is also much swollen, lesvlng
the sipht and the colored part Of the eye
in the bottom of q cup, IS 1t were. a.
first there II o great discharge OF hot
scalding tean; then sticky white mucous
finally creamy matter, and may be oioooy
matter.
There Is frequently great pain and throo-
bling in and about the eye, and oiten lug
whole side of the head; light Is also pam
full. If the lids are turned mp the conlunc-
tiva will be found very thick and veivety,
or rough like the surface Of . raspberry,
red or blush in color. Scattered among
the ~roughened surface may be seen little
white bodies, like sago grains; these white
bodies may not at first appear, on account
OF the swelling, or come on Afterwards ~
the existing irritation long continued.
Sometimes little ulcers form on or near the
edge Of the cornea, producing s haziness
or dimness Of sight; when they do occur
there is great danger of their going so deep
as to make a permanent scar or white spot,
which frequently cannot be removed, q
which should always be q signal for the
patient to put him or herself Immediately
under the care Of the best oculist within
their reach.
In two to four weeks the acute condition
subsidies, great deal Of the pain and swell
lug is gone, and it gradually meryes into
CHRONIC EXAMINATIONS.
This condition may not only arise from
the acute form Of the disease, but may
con on without any but the slightest ir-
ritation; the eyes will feel weak, prickle,
itch or feel hot and rough when exposed To
bright light, or after reading some time;
if the lids are turned up, little white specks
may be seen here and there, and the rest
Of the %eoniunctiva have = velvety appear
anca. In u few weeks or perhaps months,
all symptoms and conditions described in
crease. the eyes are red and sometimes
painful, the light hurts them, the sight IL
blurred by the excess of tears, the Granu-
lations become larger and finally u him
commences Mt the upper side Of the cornca,
and pushes forward until the sight is
INSTRUCTED with . whitish coat and little
blood vessels are seen running over the
pupil.
The chronic granulations ever get well
without the most skillful treatment, aud as
they are so very dangerous TO the sight aud
to the health, no person affected With them
should depend u moment Oh their own
remedies. or physicians who have not had
special study and experience in their treat
ment, for all are sure to fail, and thus not
only valuable time is lost, but the eyes
are greatly endangered and so much de-
formed rs never TO look we'll again, even
if the disease is all removed.
Don't say to yourself: at costs too
To 90 10 an occulist," for depend
upon it, il you neglect your ease in the
start you will in the end, spend ten
times the money before you are well; ten
the time is lost, and most likely the
sight.
Act wisely on the experience o~fthousands
who o repent their mistake. Go TO an
the first thing, and allow no one
else TO NEEDLE with your eyes.
